Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3

Well, I got the fuel filter in and still no start. Removed the filter and hooked up my pressure tester. have 1.5 psi max. Did an internet search and found carbs need 6 - 8 psi to work properly. So looks like its new fuel pump time. Fortunatly the pump is an external unit mounted on the frame rail.
